Sandvik Launches CoroMill Plura Barrel Conical Tool
The new cutter combines barrel and ball-nose radii to machine fillets, flanks and complex surfaces in a single setup.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Software
Sandvik Coromant has launched the CoroMill Plura barrel conical profiling tool, which combines barrel and ball-nose radii in one geometry. The range is optimised for semi-finishing and finishing in ISO S materials.
Why it matters
By machining fillets, flanks and complex surfaces in one setup, the tool reduces the number of passes and tool changes needed in production. Its large barrel radius also permits greater step-over rates for manufacturers.
The tool's barrel-plus-ball-nose geometry uses varying contact points to distribute heat and cutting loads across a larger area. Grades T2CH and R2AH feature Zertivo 2.0 coating technology, though no exact performance metrics were disclosed.
The players
Sandvik Coromant
Sandvik Coromant is a Swedish manufacturer of metal cutting tools and tooling systems, part of the Sandvik Group.
The details
The CoroMill Plura barrel conical is part of a portfolio that also includes ball nose, lollipop and conical ball nose tools. Sandvik Coromant has positioned the range for machining fillets, flanks and complex surfaces in ISO S materials.

The Tech Race
The barrel conical extends the existing CoroMill Plura family, which already includes ball-nose and lollipop tools, by adding a combined barrel and ball-nose geometry. It positions Sandvik Coromant to offer a single-setup profiling option across its own portfolio.
Machinists and manufacturers can potentially cut machining passes and tool changes in a single setup, which may affect workflow for complex surface work. Availability and pricing for the CoroMill Plura barrel conical were not stated in the source.
The takeaway
For shops machining fillets and complex surfaces in ISO S materials, consolidating operations into one setup could simplify programming and reduce handling. Evaluating the Zertivo 2.0 grades against current coatings may be a practical next step.
